Alex Fontana was the pace-setter during the third Formula Two
test session at Silverstone GP circuit with the Swiss racer just
edging out Markus Pommer by 0.030s ahead of third
placed Dino Zamparelli.

With temperatures continuing to rise, it was morning pace-setter
Pommer who led the way during the early part of the session lapping
in the low 1:50s, closely followed by 19-year-old Zamparelli and
Iranian Kourosh Khani.

2010 F2 champion Dean Stoneman was making good on his return to lie
fourth quickest just ahead of fellow countrymen Luciano Bacheta and
Hector Hurst.

European F3 Open champion Fontana, who has looked quick all day,
then moved into second with Chinese driver David Zhu also running
well on his debut with P9, just ahead of Jose Luis Abadin.

In the last few moments though, Fontana put in a time of 1:49.705s
to secure the top spot by the narrowest of margins, pushing the
German into second place with McLaren Autosport Award finalist
Zampareli impressing with third. That dropped Khani to fourth with
Stoneman completing the top five ahead of Bacheta, Hurst and Axcil
Jefferies. Zhu and Abadin held on to complete the top 10.

The final of today's four sessions gets underway at 16:15 where
drivers will be able to use their overboost facility. For more
